Price of Teak

The ITTO, or International Tropical Timber Organization publish average import/export prices in a fortnightly report called the Market Information Service. The reports include a table titled “US Imported sawn wood prices”.
These reports show the current average price for Teak. (Currently £2.30 per board foot). Somewhat higher than the £2.17 we use as the board per foot price in 25 years. These can be confirmed by going to http://www.itto.or.jp and clicking on Market Information Service - you will need to register for this service - then click on download report. Near the end of this report is a section titled “US Imported sawn wood prices” which lists the price of teak in $/m3. To convert this to a board foot price , divide by 424 (the number of board foot per m3), hence $2125/m3 becomes $5.01 per board foot. Then divide this by the current exchange rate.g. 1.07 to give you a price in GBP of £2.54 ( Remember this is todays price not the price in 6/10 etc years time).
In the market report you can also see a section titled report from the UK, in which you can see the cost of 1st ,quality Teak to be £2035-£2350/m3.
